Take Charge and Be Strong for Lifestyle Transformation

“An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.”

— Benjamin Franklin

Starting, then maintaining good physical health, is not easy. For the most part adhering to a proper diet, exercising consistently, sleeping well, and managing stress are the simple answers. But don’t equate simplicity with ease. Diet and exercise are very difficult to learn, apply, and sustain over long periods, primarily because you are fighting against your brain’s survival instincts, and old habits that you’ve ingrained. So much so, that only a small percentage of adults (and now children) maintain a healthy lifestyle. So, in order to get into the race for good health, you must first find a way to get to the starting line.
And that’s where we come in.

Our Mind & Motivation approach is foundational to all of our other services, because we must determine if you are truly ready to make the effort to change your lifestyle and turn away from bad habits first. Remember, all motivation is self-motivation. Coaches, consultants, trainers and physicians can only try to inspire you, convince you, and guide you to a point where YOU are motivated to take action and to begin building a new lifestyle that is based upon the “Three P’s”.

The Three “P’s” of lifestyle change

The Six Steps of Mind & Motivation;
From Awareness to Assessment

Awareness

Much of our mind and body runs on auto-pilot. First we need to cut through the clutter and become more consciously aware, in the moment, of WHO we are and WHAT is making us tick, and also how our behaviors affect others.
Understanding

Once we become aware of our condition, we need to come to grips with WHY these conditions exist by applying causation analyses. What external influences shape the current behavior(s)? What internally is causing issues that are maintaining our current condition?
Acceptance

We then must be honest with ourselves and come to accept - without the defensive posture of denial - our current state, both bad AND good, so that we can begin to set goals and look toward future POSITIVE habit changes.
Intention

How do we convert goals and objectives into actions? Intention is where we have completed the decision-making process to move forward, yet have to make preparations. But you are holding the key to convert a state of readiness into action.
Action

You’ve got it figured out, and are ready to go! Intention is the action motivator, and the activity itself produces results. The key traits to performing consistent, high-quality actions is perseverance, trust, and determination.
Assessment

Are you producing the results you intended? Did you set realistic goals? Did you stick with your actions or programs? Periodic assessments allows you to remain mindful of your progress (or lack of it), and whether to continue or change course.
